mighty appeals for some uplifting help
that comes to he from many OF these faces

gone forth with Him who is not willing
that any should PERISH" l have found
much of my work to be among 4 class far
above those already mentioned. | have
carried the message of life to one hundred
and eighty-six families. Among them the
gambler, the saloon keeper, the pro-
nounced skeptic, and the prostitute; all of
whom have received me c~OuTteously and
kindly; occasionally being invited by
them to offer prayers in their homes.
Have always read and prayed when it
was expedient; found thirteen

been permitted to carry blessings in the
form OF spiritual comfort; also temporal.
some friends to the work, have thoughtfully
anticipated necessitOus cases among the
sick, not met by public charity funds, and
have handed me means with which TO
meet those special needs | have given
$50 tracts. Have held, together with my
co-labOrers of the "WOman's Christian
Association" four cottage meetings, gath
ering the neighbors in from round
about" These have been full of encOur-
agement; some souls have received at them
the first dawning5 of II new life. Have
held three Thursday night weekly gospel
meetings at the Thirty-seventh street mis-
sion; they are growing in interest; Chris,
tain workers from the different churches
rally to its support. One of the interest
ing features to it is, that workers to it are
not afraid to bring their infants there; mol
the audience shocked ii they chance to cry.

Appearance at the Grand, Last Evening,
Enthusiastically Greeted.
Gilfether and Scott's excellent company
opened a three nights engagement at the
Grand Opera House, last evening, to a
good sized and appreciative audience,
which manifested its delight with frequent
bursts of applause. "a Member From
Jarvis Section" was produced equal to, il
not better than the original of the role,
Barney McAuley, ever put it on. Mr..
Daniel Gilfether as "Dan'l Bartlett, -
was fine. Miss Jessie Vests singing and
dancing made a great hit and she was en-
cored a number of times. The balance of
the company was above the average.
Uncle Dan'rs amusing adventures in
search of John Smith, his dangerous en-
counters with sharps and roughs, his per-
plcxities, disappointments, dangers and
triumphS, his discovery of more than he
expected to find, and his general success at
last. are incidents, all of which are admir-
ably worked up, and from beginning to
end the play holds undivided attention, its
many strong points creating u%nbounded
enthusiasm. When the w~arm-hearted old
deputy sheriff appeared, the audience real
lied the presence of an honest, plain
spoken, p%lain-dealing man, who has bust
ness before him, and who goes at it in a
business like way. His humOr, his anger,
his sorrow are all natural, and control the
feeling of those before him with q power
that marks him as being q true artist. His
trials create sympathy, his danger creates
An intensity OF interest, and his triumphs
are regarded with uumistakable satistIc-
ton.

A CALL FOR COUNCIL
TO MEET INIsPECIAL SESSION THIS EVEN
ING
To Investigate Alleged Irregularities IL
the Vote Cas- at the Second
Ward Poll.

This morning a call, signed by the re-
ouisite number Of members from each
Branch, will be presented to the Mayor,
asking that Council be summoned to meet
in special session this evening. The object
of the meeting is to consider alleged lrreg-
ularities in the vote cast in the Second
ward at the recent city election, it being
claimed that one OF more Republican can
didates on the Council ticket owed their
success to the fact that 4 large number OF
illegal votes were counted there for the Re
publican ticket.
Section 81 of the ordinance Sin relation
10 elections by the voters and also by the
Council of the city of Wheeling, and IN
relation to votes on any question by the
qualified voters of said CITY," provides
that:
If any ballot be found to contain more
than the proper number Of names for any
Office, such ballot shall not be counted for
said office"
1t is claimed by the Democratic candi-
dates for Council in the Second ward that
a large number of ballots, upon which the
names of all the candidates to be voted for
appeared, the tickets being what are known
as double tickets, were voted in an I'M
scratched condition, and that instead OF
being thrown out by the ~canvassers, the
names first occurring upon these ballots,
for each office, were counted. As the first
names in every case were those of Republi-
can candidates, the tickets having been
printed upon the order of a Republican
candidate, that party benefited very mate
rally by the operation.
These being the allegations, Council
will be asked to take notice of the matter
and investigate the same by special COM
mittee, or in such other n as may
enable ito arrive at the facts and do JUS
tice to all concerned.
The majority for City Clerk Bowers in
the city was 81. For Councilman, in the
Second ward, Mr.. Tracy had II over Mr..
Horkheimer, for First Branch; Mr.. Hair
tong Is majority over j. B. Crawford,
Mr.. Prayer "a majority over Mr.. Simpson,
and Mr.. Gavin 50 majority over Mr.. Weis,
gerber. The number of alleged counter
felt ballots is ~variously stated at from 40
to 10.
There may be some interesting develop
ments grow out of the investigation into
the character of q portion of the Second
ward ballots. An examination OF the
tickets in the box will settle the matter.

Alvin JosIyn. at the Opera House, This
Evening.

Alvin Joslyn. at the Opera House, This
Evening.
This evening the famous comedian, Mr..
Chas. l.. Davis, will present his great
comedy calvin Joslyn," at the Opera
House, and 10 doubt an immense audience
will greet him. The piece and company
are well worthy the patronage Of the public
which is assured when it is known that
Mr.. Davis has made S250,00O in the last
eight years with the piece. The Cincin-
natl Enquirer says Of 1t:
'"rhere was q regular crush at the PeO-
pies last night, an audience that caused
the manager TO feel like a four-time win
ner. The attraction was Mr.. Charles l..
Davis in his comedy of Alvin JO;lyn.' The
play and the star have been seen here so
often that an extended notice is not neces-
sary. The constant laughter, which at
times broke out in roars last night, that
was caused by cOmicalities by the star,
showed that the audience were enjoying
themselves, and that was what they want
ed. Uncle Alvin works hard to make his
patrons have a good time, and evidently
succeeds. The orchestra, which he carries
with him, is an eXcelledt one, and the solo
lists were loudly applauded. The support
was fair"
